1851réf. BK0070Owsley's Bar Yuba River California 1851. 2 pp. 7 ½ x 9 ½ inches. Folded for mailing and postmarked San Francisco February 1 with red-orange circular datestamp and matching "40" rate handstamp. Minor wear with small pale spot to address panel. A Gold Rush letter from Thomas J. Dabline at Owsley's Bar on the Yuba River giving a detailed report on a dispersed community of Maine emigrants in the California diggings. Dabline names roughly a dozen acquaintances recording their locations occupations and in several cases their financial success while also describing the effects of an exceptionally dry winter on mining along the Yuba. Dabline begins by noting that he has continued mining "with about the same results" and then describes the winter season which had brought remarkably little rain. The shortage of water had begun to interfere directly with mining in the dry ravines: "The very small quantity of rain which has fallen has operated unfavorably for those who are engaged in mining in the dry ravines and hundreds who have been throwing out dirt for washing have been obliged to leave it for want of water. But should it continue as it has it will be very favorable for an early season up the mountains." He compares the weather to a pleasant October in Maine with occasional frost and thin ice and remarks on the relative health of the surrounding mining population estimating only six or eight deaths during the season among roughly 1500 to 2000 miners living within several miles. The strongest portion of the letter is Dabline's account of what he calls "the other Maine boys" who were dispersed across the northern California diggings: "I cannot tell you much about the other Maine boys. They are scattered about the country in the various diggings. I have learned that F. McLeod has gone home with about 3000 dollars and Mr. Sholl with 5000 or 6000 dollars. Fitch Demey is over on the American River in the Express business. Mr. Vinton & Upton are down on the McCormic or dry Creek. Mr. Carpenter with the two Johnsons of Waterville are over on the Feather River. Mr. G. is I believe at Sacramento City. The Trumbulls are up about Nevada City and Dr. Anderson was sometime back down at the little village of Nicholas which is about 55 miles above Sacramento." The passage offers a compact picture of a Maine migration network after its arrival in California with members spread among the Yuba American and Feather River regions Nevada City Sacramento and other settlements. Dabline records both the mobility of the group and their varying outcomes including men who had already returned home with several thousand dollars and another who had entered the express business rather than mining. He closes by mentioning current excitement over reports of a rich new discovery at Gold Bluff though adding that "very little credit is given to the tale here." A useful firsthand account of the social geography of the Gold Rush documenting a community of Maine emigrants across the mining regions while remaining connected through news of one another's whereabouts and fortunes. . unknown books
1874réf. BK0084Washington D.C.: Department of State 1874. Partly printed document completed in manuscript 2 pp. 16 ¾ x 10 ½ inches signed by Hamilton Fish as Secretary of State with embossed Department of State seal. Some small tears at folds otherwise near fine; very good plus overall. A Department of State extradition warrant arising from a violent episode aboard the British schooner Annie B and a subsequent dispute over whether the accused should be tried in Great Britain or Maine. Charles Tilton Robbins of Deer Isle boarded the vessel at Portland on May 22 1874 using the name "Dunham of St. Andrews" and taking passage for Saint John. According to the Maine Attorney General's contemporary account while the schooner was seven miles off Monhegan Light Robbins attacked the two men on deck with a revolver and then an iron bar mortally wounding mate Solomon Camp. Robbins escaped in the schooner's boat to Monhegan and then reached Rockland where he was arrested aboard the Deer Isle packet. Camp died at Rockland on May 28.1 Because the attack occurred aboard a British vessel on the high seas Great Britain claimed jurisdiction and requested Robbins's extradition under the tenth article of the Webster-Ashburton Treaty. U.S. Commissioner Edward M. Rand found the evidence sufficient to hold him pending action in Washington. In the present document Fish records that British chargé d'affaires Robert Grant Watson had made the required requisition and directs the United States Marshal for Maine or whoever had Robbins in custody "to surrender and deliver him up" to the British representative. The warrant appears to preserve a short-lived federal decision. Because Camp had died in Maine state authorities maintained that Maine itself had jurisdiction over the resulting murder. Robbins and his supporters appealed to Governor Nelson Dingley Jr. who intervened with Washington to prevent the extradition. The federal government subsequently declined to surrender Robbins and ordered him transferred to Maine authorities for trial. He was indicted in Knox County and brought to trial on September 29; after a twelve-day proceeding in which the defense was a general denial and insanity the jury found him not guilty by reason of insanity. Overall an interesting document from a notable nineteenth-century extradition dispute in which a single killing brought British maritime jurisdiction Maine criminal law and federal treaty obligations into direct conflict. 1 "In the County of Knox" Report of the Attorney General of the State of Maine. 1874 Sprague Owen & Nash 1875 5. .

1972réf. BK0130Portland Maine: Expo Building 1972. Large printed wrestling poster 17 x 26 inches printed in orange on cream stock with photographic portraits of Pedro Morales and Baron Mikel Scicluna. Moderate toning and edge wear with strong color and printing; very good. A poster for a 1972 WWWF card at Portland's Expo Building headlined by a World Championship match between reigning champion Pedro Morales and Baron Mikel Scicluna. The undercard advertised Chief Jay Strongbow against Nikita Mulkovitch Jimmy Valiant against Sonny King and a two-against-one handicap match pitting the Black Demon and Juan Caruso against Gorilla Monsoon along with Tomas Marin against Arnold Skaaland. Contemporary wrestling records document an attendance of 1600 and preserve the results of the card. Morales retained his championship by pinning Scicluna at 20:11; Strongbow defeated Mulkovitch and Sonny King defeated Valiant. The advertised Gorilla Monsoon handicap match did not take place with the lower portion of the card rearranged into separate matches between Skaaland and Caruso and between the Black Demon and Tomas Marin.1 Morales was then in the middle of his nearly three-year WWWF championship reign having defeated Ivan Koloff for the title at Madison Square Garden in February 1971 and holding it until December 1973. The Puerto Rican-born wrestler became one of the promotion's largest draws during the period particularly among the Northeast's growing Latino audience.2 The poster is particularly appealing for the large portraits of both champion and challenger and for documenting an intact regional WWWF card during Morales's championship run. 1 Richard Land "WWWF - 1972 Results" The History of WWE accessed September 17 2026 https://thehistoryofwwe.com/wwwf-results-1972/. 2 "Pedro Morales" WWE accessed September 17 2026 https://www.wwe.com/superstars/pedromorales. .

1971réf. BK0129Portland Maine: Jack Laurence promoter 1971. Large illustrated wrestling poster for an evening at the Expo Building 17 x 26 inches. Printed in black and yellow with central portrait of Tarzan Tyler. Light wear old folds and small losses at margins; very good. A locally produced wrestling poster for a 1971 card at Portland's Expo Building promoted by longtime Maine sports promoter Jack Laurence. The main event was a six-man tag-team match pitting Jimmy Valiant Tarzan Tyler and "Crazy" Luke Graham against Rene Goulet Chief Jay Strongbow and Gorilla Monsoon advertised as three out of five falls with a two-hour time limit and two referees. The undercard included "The Battle of the Roughnecks" Mike Monroe against Stan "The Man" Stasiak; "Beautiful Bobby" against Karl Gotch; and Manuel Soto and Mike Pappas billed as "The Russians." Tyler and Graham were then the WWWF tag champions while Monsoon Strongbow Valiant Gotch and Stasiak were among the promotion's familiar stars. The evening followed immediately after the October 25 Madison Square Garden card where many of the same wrestlers appeared: Monsoon defeated Monroe Gotch defeated Beautiful Bobby and Strongbow and Victor Rivera defeated Tyler and Graham.1 Interestingly this Portland event does not appear in the extensive published 1971 WWWF results compilation we consulted which records the October 25 Madison Square Garden event and then resumes with October 29 cards in Lowell and North Attleboro. The poster thus appears to provide primary documentation of an otherwise poorly recorded Maine card. Laurence whose name appears prominently as promoter died the following February. A memorial resolution of the Maine Legislature described him as one of the state's "most devoted and beloved sports promoters."2 1 Richard Land "WWWF - 1971 Results" The History of WWE accessed September 17 2026 https://thehistoryofwwe.com/wwwf-results-1971/. 2 Legislative Record of the One Hundred and Fifth Legislature of the State of Maine Vol. III June 16-June 24 1971 893. .

Read 1759-1859 served in Congress from Massachusetts 1800-1803 and was a well-regarded judge farmer and inventor during his years in Belfast Maine 1807-1849. Very good. For the 3 letters and envelope Responding to a recent letter from Read 1759-1849; U.S. House of Representatives 1800-1803 and apparently differing from his viewpoint O'Brien writes primarily of dubious Constitutional grounds for congressional action on internal improvements and on education seeing both as doomed to inequity inefficiency and excessive cost: "I am not for loading the national government with subjects that can be better & more economically performed by the constituent parts of the Union." As evidence he cites an example: that of John C. Calhoun then Vice-President who had earlier let the controversial "Rip Rap Contract" as Secretary of War and was accused of sharing in profits from it. The letter addresses issues of the day summarizes a portion of its author's philosophy of government and echoes arguments continued through every American era. Read's first letter shows an impatience with the state of affairs: "But for the virulence of party spirit excited and kept alive by ambitious and designing men we should be not only a prosperous but very happy people . as my hopes for the preservation of the Union for any great length of time principally rest on the prospect of a more general diffusion of knowledge among the people & a consequent improvement in their manners & morals . this in my humble opinion can only be done efficiently by a liberal provision made by the national government for the suitable education of youth in every section of the Union." Read responds to O'Brien's reply in part: "Whereas the public lands in the course of a few years if not appropriated to some objects entirely national & universally satisfactory will be a bone of contention & may operate as a bounty at some public expense to the states adjacent to them to sever the Union. unknown books

réf. 70164Small 4to 22 cm. Bifolio of four pages approximately 550 words in part: Responding to a recent letter from the Ex-President: "With a view to ascertain by experiment the use of a machine most notable for different horse power I am now constructing one at Salem designed nearly as I could calculate from theory for two horse power which I expect will be completed in about a fortnight . I am at this time uninformed of the extent & population of the counties you mention; but as it would be advantageous & highly gratifying to me to have the machine introduced into Virg. under your auspices I assure you I shall be very moderate in my terms for the right of using it in the counties named . I ought to know the power you wish to apply that the use of the machine may be adapted to it." The balance of the letter describes in detail technical aspects of the machine and its parts concluding with a discussion of shipping one to Virginia rather than having it constructed there. Old fold lines but very good. Read began a side-career as an inventor in the 1780s that continued well into the 19th century along the way working on improvements in steam engines creating a rotary steam engine and a chainwheel for paddle wheels building a machine that made one-step finished nails and providing many new machines and improvements for agricultural work especially windmill waterpower and threshing technology.
